Rules
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. During the game each player is allowed to perform 1 illegal move by creating a new rule that both players must follow for the rest of the game. You may only create your rule while it is your turn, and you may only create 1 rule. The rule may only apply to 1 piece, and it must be the piece you are currently moving, in the illegal way you are moving it. After you perform your illegal move you must state out loud the rule you are creating. Your rule applies to all the pieces of the same type on the board, as well as future promotions, regardless of who controls them. You may not create limitations on which pieces are affected by your rule. Your rule may not limit or change a piece’s traditional chess moves, but you may add movement to it. Your rule may not allow pieces to capture more than 1 piece a turn. Your rule may not affect a piece that is out of play, so that you add it to the board, apart from promotions. Your rule may not result in your immediate victory on the turn you created it, and your rule may not negate, change, or alter your opponent’s rule. Rules that are created around specific locations on the board are mirrored for their opponent. For example, if Black’s rule is that pawns promote on the 6th row, then White’s pawns would promote on the 3rd row.
You may not create a rule to escape checkmate or make checkmate impossible. The first player to checkmate their opponent. Wins.
